Etymology
Romanian "pact" comes from French "pacte", itself from Latin "pactum", the past participle of "pacisci", meaning to agree or settle. Latin "pacisci" is related to "pangere", to fix or fasten, and to "pax", peace. The word entered Romanian in the modern period as part of the wave of French and Latin borrowings that reshaped the language's formal and legal vocabulary.
